Suggestions About Re-Organisation: Move & Merge Requests

[Yithian]

Someone posted about a non-certificated for pleasure course on Folklore which I enjoyed so much I did the advanced course too!

https://forums.forteana.org/index.php?threads/witchcraft.23592/page-3#post-2295758

Where is the post about the course in Folklore?

I can't find it.

Having just added a post about a fateful coincidence, I initially struggled to decide the best thread to receive it.
There are, no fewer than 34 threads referring to coincidences! A handful probably just about merit distinct threads (psychic, car, magazine, celebrity coincidences etc.), but the remainder appear to cover pretty much the same ground.
So, when you've got a minute (!) mods....

My results show a good many are IHTM threads, which we don't merge.

Although many have no adhered to the distinction, this thread is for members to report their own personal coincidence experiences:

While this is for the report and discussion of coincidences in general:

Itt's really just a placemarker. I can do a review to expand a bit if there is an appropriate thread.

And a thread here:

Coming at it from a different perspective but may be worth merging?

What? Your response time of your post show that it was maybe an hour after @Tunn11's request!

Where do you live? Canada?

Perhaps Yith is demonstrating his keen sense of irony.

 

[Tunn11]

No, it is within the Mod's power to sense the tachyonic vibrations of my request and merge them before I'd even thought of it!

I AM AFRAID IT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN UNLESS YOU KNOW ABOUT POINT INCARNATION AND NODE FOCUSING.

I DON’T EXPECT YOU DO?

We'll give the newer one a short time to garner its own responses independently and then merge.

The "The Continuing Insult To The English Language" thread was originally a response to an article of the same name, so it was appropriate to put it in the "Mainstream News Stories" section. However, it quickly evolved into a more general discussion of bad grammar and related issues. I therefore suggest it be moved to "Chat".

I second the proposal.

Maybe this thread could be retitled New Islands as a more general topic.

I have not read both threads entirely, but they seem pretty close in topics (though one is specifically "fauna") and perhaps should be merged?

Quick conference decided to keep these separate: there's a clear and useful distinction in topic, assuming members are able to observe it.
